Calculate the number of moles of acid left, so 0.0025-0.001 = 0.0015 (due to 1:1 mole ratio) and find its concentration by 0.0015/0.002 which gives 0.075 moldm^-3. One mole of NaOH reacts to form one mole of sodium ethanoate, so the concentration of the salt is 0.001/0.002 = 0.05 moldm^-3. Finally just apply the formula: pH = pKa + log(concentration of salt/concentration of acid)

Where did the 0.002 come from and why is the moles of acid and salt divided by it?
